Finished Splatoon Raiders! Well, at least saw the credits.
I was wrong about the map again, there was one more map reveal before we got to the final level. Not to mention that the final level wasn’t a single level, it had it’s own mini-world map with a few levels, which got lengthier and more difficult as we reach closer to the final boss. Finally cleared all that though! There are a few post-game dungeons, and they say you’ll get something if you complete all of them, so at least there is one more story moment.
Levels have “normal” mode, and during the game you unlock “hard” mode for completed dungeons, which give you different rewards. After finishing the game, “Very hard” mode is also unlocked for all levels.
Not sure if I’ll do the very hard versions, but at least going to clear main post-game dungeons. I am a bit underleveld for that, so clearing the unfinished hard levels. This also gives me the chance to upgrade my last tank (Tactics!) completely, as well as raise my bonding level with last member (Shiver!) to max.
Overall opinion, the game is a lot of fun. The gameplay loop doesn’t change from the start (there is a constant progression though, regularly unlocking new stuff), so if you don’t like it, you don’t need to keep playing, the game is probably not for you.
Played a bit of Hogwarts Legacy. No significant update here. Didn’t play Final Fantasy XII - The Zodiac Age or Fire Emblem Three Houses as I wanted to focus on Splatoon Raiders.
What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?


I’m having fun, but you’ll have to ask again in a few months. Aside from the obvious ‘old game’ quirks that are hard to go back to, I still have a long way to go to get used to my new weapon. I’ve been playing Switch Axe since Rise, so the fact that I have a shield to block attacks with is very strange. Rathian is always a good litmus test to see how well you’re doing but it’ll take me a long time to get to that point.
Well, good enough for now. Hopefully you will keep enjoying it.
